Do what you should, not what you may.
While we are postponing, life speeds by.
You find in some a sort of graceless modesty, that makes them ashamed to requite an obligation.

Wisdom teaches us to do, as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a colour.
We most often go astray on a well trodden and much frequented road.
